Same problem here!!! After upgrade to new version I can not navigate to contacts. Same thing hapened on my 3 units, spreading from 2.3.0-2.3.4.
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
Are you guys referring to the first 5.8.0 version or to the one that works without root?
[Android Apps and Games] Henrik_Nyberg:
The first root version.
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
I just found out I forgot to update to 5.8.0.

My older version of navigation to contacts works fine

Yes upuntill 5.8.0 it has been working flawlessly. Now it's not working at all.

[Android Apps and Games] Lidodido:
Running an Unrooted Xperia Neo and was really glad to find out you've released a version with changed APN. Works great for me, however there is no icon for navigation! Maps, Latitude and Places all get the extra Ownhere-marked icon but not the navigation, which makes it kind of pointless since navigation is the sole purpose of using this mod :P

Opening Maps, finding an address and choosing to navigate to that address however gives me the option to navigate using the Ownhere Navigation, and it works great! Only the shortcut in the app-drawer that's missing. Any ideas? Tried reinstalling it...

Prevent navigation to switch system volume to max

Hi,

it would be great to fix or workaround an old bug in which system volume is set to maximum every time you use Navigation ( http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11213 )

cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
This is a known issue that google maps 5.7.0 and 5.8.0 do use more battery then before. Androidpolice did some research and found out that if you're login to latitude

you get battery drain . But I get battery drain if I'm login ore not

.

After a day without using maps it still eats almost 10%.

so I freeze maps in TB when I'm not using it.

The apk you don't Ned root is a beta so it got some bugs. I got the same problem.

What does "New: maps5.8.0 without root:maps5.8.0-ownhere-changepn.apk" mean?

Is it possible to install that version beside the original Maps from Market, and get turn by turn navigation, without root?

[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Yes you can install along with stock map, you will see double icon for map, place and lattitude, but cant see for navigation, but nothing to worry, just open new installed map, search for place you want to navigate, and select navigation symbol, just below search box. n you will b get navigation

[Android Apps and Games] andreasy:
This is supposed to work in all countries where it is not officially supported right? well, maybe not all? isn't it necessary that a map is available for download in that country as well or should it work with google maps cached downloads?

There is no map for my country (Cyprus) and all my attempts to get direction end up with message (no path found).

Should I assume that this works for all countries except Cyprus or maybe there's another trick which I don't know.
[Android Apps and Games] soder:
What about all the three different versions now?

The signed version is to replace the version of Maps that might be in /system/app, and that can be updated with a new official Maps from Market when the next version is out. So far, so good.

The resigned version used a different sign key, and don't work with the official Maps key? Therefore the official version needed to be uninstalled (root needed)?

The new version, that doesn't need root, is it just that it also use a different sign key then the official Maps, but that it CAN be installed together with official Maps to?

Question: What about on a ROM like CM7, already root:ed, and with no Maps in /system/app. Installing Maps for the first time, what version to use?

Since official Maps now support Navigation in Sweden I won't be needing this version anymore.

[Android Apps and Games] rogers73:
Hi! I was on Google Maps v5.6.0 with the hack for enabling navigation. I live in Norway, so today I wanted to upgrade to the "normal" version from the market, since navigation has been enabled today.

I first wiped data from Google Maps and Street View in Titanium Backup. Then I uinstalled both apps from Titanium Backup.

When I download the 5.8.0-version from the market, I now get: "Error. Unknown error code during application install: "-8" OK

What does this mean? Any idea how to get rid of this and get it to install?

Edit:

Also tried wiping cache, dalvik cache and fixing permissions. No chance. Then tried to install the old v5.6.0-ownhere again, and that worked. But I still can't get 5.8.0 to install.

Edit again: This time tried to delete data and uninstall 5.6.0-ownhere from "Settings - Applications" instead of using Titanium Backup. Installation of v5.8.0 from marked now worked!

Apparently Titanium Backups doesn't wipe all the data associated with the app?

Hi

voice navigation works fine but now GOOGLE MAPS only work when it is ONLINE?!!!

here, in India, we don't have too many WiFi access points and data cost is exorbitant, so can somebody please upload Brut's last version v 5.7, which didn't have this limitation..

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
I think brut have not released new version after 4.6, but thr are other offline option for navigation available in india. you can read this my post, whr you can get guide to use 5 different navigator for india

http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?696402-Mobile-Navigator-India

Just to note this ownhere map have option to save google map for offline, but still you need active data connection, but map will not download if you have already save it.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
I'm not sure what you mean!

Brut's latest version was 4.6.0 but if you mean "5.7.0 ownhere" it is very similar to 5.8.0 except "without root maps 5.8.0 ownhere" version is a bit bugy a bit like you describe..what version you are running?
[Android Apps and Games] atifhasan86:
i mean Brut's latest version in the v first post of this thread, file named "maps5.8.0-ownhere-testkeyresign.apk" and "maps.5.8.0-ownhere.apk".

I'm rooted so i don't need the unrooted version, the first version from above doesn't install and the second does but it needs data connection at startup :o

[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Are u sure u r opening new version of map?, coz both are same icon

and in this version(non rooted) thr is no navigation icon, if you are opening with that, thn u r opening old version, press newer map icon - serach desired place - press blue navigation symbol just below search field, u will get navigation

I have installed the 5.8 non-root version but i found that while in navigation, the screen turns off by itself. How can i keep the screen on during navigation?

[Android Apps and Games] stra:
After fruitless hours spent on this problem, all I could find is suggestion to use adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps command, as presumably it would uninstall an app in "more proper way" and get rid of error message I am getting.

But ADB access on my stock G S2 is limited, because of settings in default.prop file, and I would need to mess with boot.img to fix that, which I don't want to do.

After all those posts, one with the apk that explicitly got "china only" in it's name, a warning about it, then another one without this explicit statement, then those last posts now, it is totally confusing and unclear.
